<p>The Thursday Caravan to help our Fort Mill Homeless is all gassed-up and moving down the road.  Thanks to the efforts
and commitment by the ROC (Renew Our Community) and several community members, our homeless now have a path to relief,
development and renewal.</p>
 
<p>Here are some of the services and corresponding agencies currently helping to assist every Thursday:</p>

<p>Now it&rsquo;s time for all of our community members (that&rsquo;s me, you and your organizations) to &lsquo;get on
the bus&rsquo; so that we can collectively ensure that our efforts continue to drive our homeless towards a life of
self-sufficiency.</p>
    
<h2>So how can YOU help?</h2>

<p>We do need your assistance in the following areas:</p>

<ul>
    <li><strong>5 Van Drivers:</strong>  Need 5 driver volunteers to each take one Thursday per month to pick-up and drive our homeless (ROC van) from Fort Mill to Rock Hill (9AM),  to and from different agencies in Rock Hill (10:30-2:30), then back to Fort Mill (3:30PM).  This will be a full day, but extremely productive and rewarding.  Driver.s license required.</li>

            <h2>The needs of the week:</h2>

            <p>Many thanks for all of the donations that have come in this week to bless the riders of our newly named
            Thursday van service <strong>ROC Rides</strong>. The clothing was very appreciated. </p>

            <p>Here is the updated list of needs:</p>

            <ul>
                <li>Size 7.5 men's sneakers.</li>
                <li>size 30x32 men's pants </li>
                <li>medium men's shirts</li>
                <li>Size 1-2x women's tops</li>
                <li>Size 11-12 women's shoes</li>
            </ul>

            <p>The traditional food stamps now called a SNAP card do not cover items like toilet paper,paper towels,soap
            and toothpaste so these items are ongoing needs monthly. </p>

            <p>We are still looking for Thursday volunteer drivers of the van from 8:30-3:30, weekly laundry service
            helpers, and a hair stylist/ barber one Thursday a month 11-4.</p>

            <p>Please <a href="mailto:kkvinesett@yahoo.com">contact me</a> for any questions or information. God bless
            you! </p>
